CONTRACT Nor ACCFPTTD.

The petition OF the receivers asking
for this restraining order is accompanied
by copy of the contract entered into
between the two companies on the 18th
day of January, 1884, and by the cor
respondence that has taken place during
this year between Captain Wise and MIR.
Axtell.
Captain Wise in his last letter. bearing
date Of November DIST, says: "While we
have proceeded temporarily upon the
basis Of the agreement made by your
company with the Southern Telegraph
Company, the New York and Southern
Telegraph Company has never as
sented to the terms of your agree
ment with the Southern Telegraph
Company The New York and Southern
Telegraph Company, as the purchaser of
the property of the Southern Telegraph
Company at the foreclosure sale, did not
thereby assume the contracts of the
company whose property was thus sold,
nor has it ever assented to the particular
contract of that company with the Rich
mond and Allegheny railroad. The pur-
chasers cannot accept your proposition as
embodied in your letter of the 4th in
slant, and we have therefore decided to
proceed to remove our wires from your
line without any unnecessary delay"

The petition is a lengthy document,
but the real point is that the Southern
company by its contract was obligated,
before consolidating, leasing, or selling
the whole or any part of the telegraph
line to any competing company, to give
the receivers or managing officers of the
Richmond and Allegheny Railroad Com
pany sixty days notice in writing of its

Mr.. AxTELL's LETTER.

Mr.. Axtell's letter OF November 4th,
referred to above. was in response to one
from Captain Wise asking the former to
give his views in writing as TO the with
drawal by the telegraph company Of
its wires. In this letter Mr.. Axtell names
certain conditions and terms upon which
he individually is willing to terminate
the agreement made with the Southern
company and to allow the removal of
the wires. "While not dissatisfied with
the agreement, and with no reason 10
desire to terminate it, the receivers, Mr..
Axtell says, are not ayerse to asking the
Court to authorize them to agree
to its termination and the with
drawal of your wires, &C., from
the railroad telegraph line upon receiv-
ing proper equivalent for the benefits
that will be given up. Inasmuch as
you are required to keep the line in con-
dition 70 carry six wires for the railroad
company, and as there is little proba-
bility that more than six wires will ever be
needed by the railroad. the withdrawal of
your wires is not of itself a benefit to the
railroad" Mr.. Axtell then proceeds to
name some Of the obligations TO
be performed by the telegraph company,
and gave as bis opinion, not as an esti-
mate, that these obligations would he

Car Lines, &C.

Mr.. Starke is receiving in person and
by letters and postals encouraging evi-
dence that the exposition project is
approved by the people. The general
voice is that it is exactly what Richmond
needs to advertise her manufactures,
call attention to her business, give proof
OF her growth, and attract new comers.
Rightly carried out it is believed that it
will not only benefit Richmond, but
prove OF direct advantage to the agri-
cultural and mining interests of Virginia.
So clearly is this recognized that of the
offers of help and co-operation q very con-
siderable proportion have come from
country people.

should the city OF Richmond give you
the support you have right to expect l
feel quite sure that the livestock breed
ers OF the State will unite with You in
having such an exposition that not only
the Agricultural Society but the State at
large may be proud OF. Very respect

Sympathy.

To the Editor OF THB HERALD.
A loud clattering was heard at about
Aalf-past 10 o'clock to-day, and on
looking around to ascertain what it
was, to my surprise it was the Sanpete
Valley engine on its journey northWard.
1t was pitiful to gaze at the vain at
tempts of the engine, while trying to
pull few cars to the desired point, and
alas it stopped and could not move; it
snorted, but could not proceed, but
when half of the cars were left, it pro-
ceeded lazily along the track until it
reached the station, after which it re-
turned for the remaining cars; snort
and puff and it glided along triumphant.
1t was due here from Nephi at about
half-past l p. m, but did not arrive
till nearly O'Clock; but was informed
that it had some furniture on board for
our townsman Lewis Anderson, which
was no doubt the cause of delay
Sympathy should be extended in be-
half of our Sanpete Valley train, and
when seen in trouble team should be
forwarded to the scene of distress to
help pull the cars to the desired des-
tination. You can easily infer from the
above that it would be essential to have
q better engine, and it would not be
amiss to have decent cars on our San
pete Valley Railway. e
Yours resp ectfully,

Surgeon Crawford Convicted.

WASHINGTON. August 20.-This after
noon Assistant District Attorney Lynscomb
concluded his argument in the police
court in the case of Surgeon Crawford,
United States navy accused under the Utah
law of fornieation with Eva White. He
maintained with the legal authorities the
proposition that it is not necessary to prove
the time in an offense of this character
ard ridiculed at length Craw ford's State
ment on the stand, that in all the tender
ness of his relations with Eva White he
had never kissed her. Judge Harper in
disposing Of the case said he would
hold the accused guilty on both informa-
tions, charging fornication on the I'd and
9TH of July. The sentence would be six
months in the Jail in each case. There
was applause in the courtroom when the
sentence was announced but the court. of
ficials promptly checked it. When the
verdict was announced MIR. Moore asked
earnestly, "Guilty on two informations?"
"On both informations," responded the
court. "1:'he offence being committed in
the District Of Columbia?" The judge
hesitated and then answered with an air
of some annoyance, ayes, the offence
being committed in the District" Mr..
Lynscomb at once moved for sentence and
the court announced six months in jail ON
each information. An appeal was noted
and the bond being fixed at $1,000, J. B.
Bryan went surety for the amount.

The Manitoba Expected.

The C9ur d'Alene country is one Of the
richest sections in mineral wealth on the
continent. Mines are being rapidly cap
italized and big reduction works estab-
lished, and it is being developed for ali
it is worth. Three railroads at least are ex-
pected to be butt into the district this
year-a branch from the Northern, another
from the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
(recently leased by the Union Pacific and
the Manitoba, which is building from
both ends simultaneously and is accom-
plishing the biggest feats in the way OF
rapid railroad construction that this con.
tinent has ever seen. The best experts in
the country pronounce the district i'm
mensely rich and simply mountains of
ore. It will be remembered that this dis
trict was first discovered three years ago,
and that there was a tremendous rush
from all parts of the union. Those who
did not leave at once disheartened
remained until spring, and the reports of
fraud spread by those who went out
gave the district black eve.
The past year, however, ex-
perts have examined the district and re-
port it Remarkably rich, and millions are
being invested there. Sim Reid of Port
land paid 81, ,500, 600 for property there
recently, and it is said by Prof. Fowler
that more than million dollars worth of
ore is in sight now in this mine

President Cleveland Replies.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-The presi-
dents attention was called yesterday to a
statement, which lately appeared in the
New York World, to the effect that he
was not properly supporting the commits
sioners appointed to examine the affairs
of the Pacific railroads, and giving as
proof of the charge what was alleged to
be the contents of the presidents answer
to Chairman Pattison's dispatch propos-
ing to employ assistant counsel to aid in
the proceedings against the roads. The
president said: Il have no time to read
or reply to the misrepresentation of OPP
position newspapers, and am not at all
afraid they will succeed in destroying the
confidence the people have in the policy
and course of the administration in the mat
ters in question:; but if there is man,
woman or child who would feel easier af-
ter reading the dispatch which did send
to x-Governor Pattison they can have il. y
The dispatch referred to by the president
is addressed to Hon. j. D. Pattison,
chairman of the United States Pacific
Railway Commission, San Francisco. 1t
reads as follows: .Upon your statement

employed, authorize and approve such

A Fortunate Find.

Referring to mines which make little
or no surface showing the Salt Lake
City Tribune says: "Of such discoveries
we know of none more marvellous than
that of the Ontario mine near Park City
Men might have passed up and down
Ontario gulch till the sound of the last
trumpet and never have detected the ore
channel, now known to be three miles
long, which has in twelve years given up
twenty millions, and which is sure to give
up hundred millions before 1t is ex-
hausted, possibly twice that. The vein
crops out nowhere. 1t has been impossi-
BILE to trace it save following it westward
on some of the underground levels. How
was it discovered? In some bushes on
the rising slope from the gulch man
some fifteen years ago CHANGED upon q
single lump of ore, the size of ones fist,
embedded in the soil like any pebble, but
with its upper surface exposed. Picking
it out of its nest it was seen to be ore, and
stroke of the pick brought to light ano-
ther sma piece of ore. From this cir
cumstance investigation proceeded. A mar
row trench of ore was found to exist, and
an experienced miner, hearing of the find,
visited and bought it for the sum of $780,
900. 1t required some nerve to chance
even that, and good deal of nerve and
money afterward to make great paying
mine of it

THE WORLD OF SPORT.
Remarkable Rivalry in the National
Base Ball League-The Smith
kilrain Fight.

MIsSEAPoLIs, August 22.-The great
est base ball playing in the history of the
game is being witnessed by the spectators
who attend the National League contests.
The struggle for the pennant this year is
a phenomenal one. After four months of
play there are still five out of the eight
clubs we'll in the race. Detroit, the lea
que leader, is only four games ahead of
Philadelphia, the fifth club in the num-
ber of games won This same Philadel-
phia club is doing remarkable work. The
result of Tuesdays games left it tied with
New York for third place, but Saturdays
games sent the "Phillies" back to- fifth.
Chicago seems unable to pass Detroit,
though tied for the first place early in the
week. Both the leaders lost Saturday,
and they are still two games apart. The
tabulated record to the 10Th instant is as
fo11aypc.

A Train Wrecked.

DENVER, Colorado, August 26.-An ac-
cident to the eastbound Union Pacific ex-
press at Sandy creek bridge, ten miles east
of here, at 12 o'clock Thursday night, re-
suited in the death of Engineer Master.
son and the serious wounding of two or
three train men. The Union Pacific and
Burlington bridges cross Sandy creek al
most parallel and within a few feet of
each other. When the engineer of the
Union Pacific, which leaves here about
thirty minutes ahead of the Burlington,
was within few feet of the bridge, he was
Mortified to see that flood in the early
part of the evening had washed away the
middle section. The fireman jumped into
the stream and was taken out half an
hour later in an unconscious condition. 1t
is thought that he will die Engineer
Masterson grabbed the lever and revers-
ed the engine just as it plunged into the
water with the baggage car on top. His
body was buried in the sand
and has not yet been recovered.
The engine was completely submerged
in the sand. An old lady living near hear
ing the cries of the people, rushed out with
lantern and stopped the approaching
eastbound train on the Burlington when
within few feet of the bridge, probably
saving many lives, as the bridge ON this
road was in dangerous condition.

MURDEROUs CATTLEMEN.
Conflicting Stock Interests Cause Foul
Murder in Malheur County,
Oregon.

SALT LAKE Cry, August 25.-Bitter
feuds have existed for some time in west
ern Oregon between the cattle and horse
men and sheep owners. and it has been
the cause of much bloodshed. A murder
committed last September has just come
to light. In that month Samuel Rich, a
sheepherder for Aikman & JUNIOR, while
herding 1900 head in Malheur county,
Oregon, mysteriously disappeared. Three
hundred and fifty sheep were lost and the
owners thought Rich had fled with them.
About week ago man named Haines,
formerly a cowboy employed by John
Strobe, while riding into Caldwell, Idaho,
dropped word or two concerning Rich's
disappearance, and detective managed
to learn from him the whole story. Haines
told how he saw Strobe and man named
Sherman, while in ambush, shoot Rich
down in cold blood, and how they turned
and ran, believing they were observed.
Haines stood in mortal dread of Strobe,
and on several occasions Strobe spoke
to him in a defiant and threatening man.
ner about the lost sheepherder, plan he
adopted to learn if Haines knew anything
about it and also to intimidate him.
Haines never got away from the ranch
until last week. The officers went to the
spot where the murder occurred, and
found the hip bone, one leg, the upper
arm bones, the spinal column with the
ribs torn off ,and one foot, both shoes, a coat
with bullet hole through the left breast
and other evidences of the crime. The
cayotes had devoured the flesh and por-
ton of the bones Strobe and Sherman
had been to Boise City, Idaho, to purchase
supplies and were arrested Monday, en-
route to their ranches in Oregon. The
fact that Strobe is one of the wealthiest
stockmen in that part of the country
promises to make an interesting haul

It is Worry that Kills.

l once heard Henry Ward Beecher say
that he had the greatest difficulty at the
beginning of his career to acquire the
habit of working easily, and he might
have been in his grave quarter of CEN
tury ago had he not overcome his tenden-
cy to worry-the natural condomitant of q
highly nervous organization. II am con-
vinced," said he, THAT no youth can ex-
pect to achieve great success unless he
learns that lesson. It Is worry, not work,
that kills men. When was young man
worried over the mistakes / made so
much that saw it was injuring my health
and resolved to stop my blunders. I
conquered the weakness, and since that
struggle have attempted to do my best,
whatever the emergency in whichsI was
placed, and then dismiss the matter from
my mind, whether the result was satisfac-
tory Or otherwise. The only good Of
studying the past is to avoid the repetition
of blunders." Mr.. Beecher probably felt
that wise man may make mistake, but

Desires q New County.

Mr.. George A. Wells of Cora says that
at present he buys goods at Fort Benton,
but when the railroad is open for traffic it
will be more convenient for him to come
here.
Regarding county division, Mr.. Wells
speaks very emphatically. He says: ut
would be of great service to that part of
Meagher county in which | live to be an
nexed to the new county of Cascade. I
live only % miles from Great Falls, but If
am summoned for jury duty l have to
make q journey of about 165 miles to
White Sulphur Springs. If had to go
there at shearing time, might as we'll
hand over my sheep to some one and go
out of business"
Mr.. Wells favors good compact coun-
ty, such as Cascade, which could be Eov-
erned effectively and would enable peo-
pie to carry on public business without un-
necessary expense.

Sugar in Demand.

PHILADELPHIA, August 2S.-The sugar
refineries are working day and night at
their greatest capacity. Superintendent
Langenheim of the Knight company said
that more sugar will be used this year
than ever before The business will Ct n
tinue, it is expected, in the same way up
to the fall of 1883. The demand at this
time of the year is caused by the canning
season. The use of sugar is increasing
greatly. The price is very low now and
there is no outlook that it will be advanc-
ed. The Brazil and Louisiana crops are
yet to come. The increase in consump-
tion of sugar in 1886 over 1885 was IL, 600
tons. So far this year the increase over
last year is "a, 900 tons, and if the increas-
ed consumption continues it will exceed
